Theoretical models describe working memory difficulties as risk factors and/or outcomes of anxiety in children, but the current evidence base is surprisingly mixed. Understanding the nature of the working memory/anxiety relation is complicated by the multi-component nature of each of these constructs. Consideration of the co-occurrence of anxiety with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is also imperative given that ADHD is associated with large magnitude working memory impairments.

Article Synopsis
- Evidence suggests that childhood ADHD leads to more significant working memory issues compared to inhibition, but the impact of co-occurring anxiety hasn't been thoroughly explored.
- In a study with 339 children (197 with ADHD), findings indicated that ADHD resulted in small impairments in inhibition and large deficits in working memory.
- However, both trait anxiety and anxiety diagnoses showed no meaningful influence on the executive function deficits seen in ADHD, suggesting that anxiety doesn't add to the existing difficulties linked to ADHD, highlighting the need for further research in this area.
Renal function affects hippocampal volume and cognition: The role of vascular burden and amyloid deposition.
Geriatr Gerontol Int
November 2017
Aim: We determined if differences in renal function, even within normal levels, influenced hippocampal volume (HCV) and cognition.
Methods: Cognitively normal (CN) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) subjects with eGFR ≥ 60 ml/min/1.73m were selected from the ADNI database (N = 1,269) and divided into three groups (eGFR 60-75, 75-90 and ≥90).
Background: It is unclear how brain reserve interacts with gender and apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4) genotype, and how this influences the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The association between intracranial volume (ICV) and progression to AD in subjects with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and differences according to gender and APOE4 genotype, was investigated.
Methods: Data from subjects initially diagnosed with MCI and at least two visits were downloaded from the ADNI database.
The psychometric properties of the korean version of the verbal abuse questionnaire in university students.
Psychiatry Investig
April 2015
Objective: The aim of the present study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Korean Verbal Abuse Questionnaire (K-VAQ) that consists of 15 items related with life-time verbal aggression exposure.
Methods: A total of 5814 university students who agreed to take part in the study completed the K-VAQ, the Korean version of the Life Event CheckList (LEC-K) and Impact of Event Scale-Revised (K-IES-R). Internal consistency was checked by using item-total item correlation and Cronbach's alpha coefficient.
